As mentioned above Hornady critical defense. Also, cci maxi mags 40 grain cycle without any problems. I tend to have the heavier grain bullets in the pmr. Hornady varmint red tip has issues but runs great in my Savage bolt action.What ammo have you found to be reliable?

Early gen models did have an issue with the front sight...cement would loosen due to heat from barrel. They sent me another...I need to sight it and locktite it down.
Loading the mags is the tricky part..you can crimp some rounds loading which can cause the casing to not clear and get hung up.
After that you can expect to get burnt at least once as you roll thru 30 rounds and if flings the cases everywhere.
I really want a cmr 30 for the misses at home it's such fun.
As far as anyone copying it...gonna be a while due to the mags..they are the key. No one seems to have figured out the double stack for rimfire.

Prices have gotten a lot better for sure.The other complaint people have is ammo price. However, I'm finding CCI ammo for the cost of good brass 9 mm. It's about 20 to 22 cents a round .
What kind of device is that on the barrel?I got a PMR-30 and a FN FiveSeven last year within a week from each other. I really like the PMR-30, the FN was meh to me and I traded it for a milled Arsenal with stupid hydrodip recently.

The hybrid action is the reason you shouldn't suppress it...I'm not sure if it would damage the action or just not function.The Grendel guns were designed by George Kelgren who was the founder of Kel-Tec and a designer of a number of the Kel-Tec models. I think he's still head designer and CEO of the firm, but others were involved in the design of the PMR-30. The PMR-30 has a different type of action than the earlier .22 MAG Kelgren p-3o design from which the magazine was lifted.
From Wikipedia:
George Kellgren (born May 23, 1943) is a Swedish-born firearms designer, inventor and founder of the gun manufacturer Kel-Tec. His designs include the Intratec Tec-9, Kel-Tec P-11 and Grendel .380 ACP pocket pistol.If you don't know much about the PMR-30 design, the following link is very interesting, and includes a transcript of a discusion withTobias Obermeit, the Chief Design Engineer on the PMR-30 pistol at Kel-tec:
Kellgren is the owner and Chief Engineer of Kel-Tec CNC. He designed many firearms earlier for Husqvarna and Swedish Interdynamics AB in Sweden. He moved to the US in 1979 and his original US designs were for Intratec and Grendel brand firearms. He founded Kel-Tec in 1991.

There are plans for a 5 inch threaded barrel for use with a flash suppressor, or even perhaps silencers. But this will not be released until we know that the extra weight of a silencer attached to the barrel will not adversely affect the hybrid locked breech system.

faster than you can load the mags !!!!It is remarkably easy to do follow up shots with the pmr 30. Once yo get a feel for the trigger those 30 rounds will be gone way faster than u would ever think.
